Canadian artist Kate Beaton draws wonderfully expressive comics which she publishes variously on her <a href="http://www.katebeaton.com/">website</a> and her LiveJournal, <a href="http://beatonna.livejournal.com/">Hark! A Vagrant</a>. In December 2007 <a href="http://beatonna.livejournal.com/16052.html">she asked her readers</a> to suggest historical figures and promised to draw comics based on the first twenty submissions. Highlights of the <a href="http://www.katebeaton.com/Site/History_Project.html">resulting series</a> include <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/00044apd/">Mary Shelley</a>, <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/0002hq20/">Genghis Khan</a>, and <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/0002ecfd/">yes, even Søren Kierkegaard</a>. A <a href="http://beatonna.livejournal.com/27763.html">second set</a> of history comics is underway (don't miss <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/0004fgez/">Captain Cook</a>) and someday soon we can hope for a gallery of <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/0002awsz/">Teslas</a> (perhaps you will answer <a href="http://beatonna.livejournal.com/28117.html">the call</a>?). Earlier comics are equally recommended; they are populated by figures <a href="http://www.katebeaton.com/Site/Comics_Library/Pages/History_is_Rad%21.html#8">historical</a> and <a href="http://www.katebeaton.com/Site/Comics_Library/Pages/Maybe_its_a_Journal.html#10">contemporary</a> as well as by <a href="http://www.katebeaton.com/Site/Comics_Library/Pages/Maybe_its_a_Journal.html#2">Kate </a> <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/0001a5wz/">herself</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.69040Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:12:33 -0800Songdog
